Subject: Better Version
This version is complete and has better image quality than the other version.

While probably really cool in 1936, it's a lttle creepy today - in a good way. It's a nice, mindless story. Top rating for the just the theme song! It's hypnotic.

Christmas comes but once a year.
Now it's here. Now it's here.
Bringing lots of joy and cheer.
Tra, la, la, la, la!
You and me, and he, and she,
and we are glad because.
Why? Because, because, because,
There is a Santa Claus.
Oh, Christmas comes but once a year.
Now it's here. Now it's here.
Bringing lots of joy and cheer.
Tra, la, la, la, la!

I made a version with closed captions and an interactive trancript. You can check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p17kBv8F5I
